Bill > SB486

This bill establishes insurance provisions that require coverage for annual breast cancer screenings. Specifically, it mandates that insurance policies provide coverage for one mammogram examination per year for women aged 40 and older, without requiring a prior order. For women under 40 who have a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, the bill requires coverage for mammogram examinations at the intervals deemed medically necessary by the woman's healthcare provider. The requirements of this bill apply to all insurance policies delivered, issued, or extended in the state of West Virginia on or after January 1, 2024, or at any time thereafter when the policy terms or premium is changed.
